The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 337
Seventy thousand men went down to the river to take a bath together. It was like eating a pot of unusually sticky dumplings. Dongfang Sheng saw that the originally clear river suddenly became black.

Dongfang Sheng pointed to the [-] Yuan Jun prisoners who were flopping in the river and said to Tuobahan beside him: "With these [-] elites, we will be able to conquer the world just around the corner!"

Tuobahan also said with emotion: "Yuan Shao really doesn't know how to use soldiers."

An hour later, Yu Hong appeared in front of Dongfang Sheng energetically. Behind him were seven temporarily selected generals lined up, and behind him were seven neat phalanxes. Although there were no weapons and armor, But that momentum has somewhat recovered.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Yu Hong and said, "Next, I will take you to Xuzhou, but not together but in batches."

Just as Yu Hong wanted to speak, his stomach started to growl unsatisfactorily.

"Since you're hungry, get something to eat first. If you can't get enough to eat, I don't think you have the heart to do anything else." Dongfang Sheng said with a smile. "However, I don't have enough food to supply you for the time being, but I have a way to feed you."

Yu Hong looked at Dongfang Sheng with some puzzlement and asked, "What do we eat without food?"

"There are meat and vegetables, I will keep you full." Dongfang Sheng said with a trick.

Tuobahan on the side began to salivate as soon as he heard what Dongfang Sheng said. Basically, after following Dongfang Sheng for a while, whenever Dongfang Sheng mentioned food, these people's first reaction was to drool.

"Tuoba, take Yu Hong and the others to find some wild vegetables, and I'm going to get some river fish to eat." Dongfang Sheng pointed to the clear river.

Yu Hong sent four temporary generals to go with Tuobahan, and he brought three temporary generals to Dongfang Sheng to wait for orders.

Dongfang Sheng asked them to dig a small ditch with the width of one person and the height of one person by the river to introduce the river water into the small ditch, and the fish in the river would rush into the small ditch with the river water. Block it with soil, and you can slowly catch fish in the small ditch.

Dongfang Sheng ordered the three temporary generals to follow the same pattern and dig as many ditches as they could by the river. The environment and arrests at this time were far inferior to those of later generations. Dongfang Sheng made a wooden fork and even forked a dozen fish More than that, this shows that there are a lot of fish in the river.

Two hours later, Tuobahan not only came back with a large amount of wild vegetables, but also a handful of dry wood to light the fire.

"All the fish should be dissected, gutted and washed, and wild vegetables should be washed and dried leaves removed." Dongfang Sheng had already put on an apron and started cooking.

The fish is made into grilled fish, braised in soy sauce, steamed, boiled, sweet and sour, etc. Dongfang Sheng basically gives advice from the sidelines, and sometimes he cooks it himself.

The wild vegetables are all boiled with hot water to remove the astringency. Some are made into cold salad, some are put in soup, and some are mixed and fried.

There was a burst of fragrance, and all kinds of wild vegetables and fish were cooked in the large iron pots lined up, which made Yuan Jun's prisoners swallow their mouths with greed.

Because there are not enough tableware, it can only be eaten in batches, and there are only dishes and no staple food.

But even in such a situation, these Yuan Jun were also moved and wept bitterly after eating one meat and two vegetarian dishes.

Yuan Shao attached great importance to relatives and generals, but he was very harsh on the soldiers and common people underneath, which is very similar to his brother Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, was just the opposite. What he valued most was the feelings of the low-level soldiers and common people, and what he wanted to overthrow the most was actually those powerful people.

Dongfang Sheng looked at those Yuan Jun who were crying while eating, and he was also full of emotion. If he let these people know what the ordinary food in his army is like, I'm afraid they will pass out from happiness.

Although there is no staple food, the taste of these wild vegetables and fish is definitely quite good after being carefully cooked.

Dongfang Sheng squeezed a grilled fish and squatted aside to eat it. After Yu Hong finished eating, he walked up to Dongfang Sheng and said, "The eight of us had a discussion just now. If we can bring all our relatives over, we will follow the master wholeheartedly." you!"

After Yu Hong finished speaking, he looked at Dongfang Sheng with some anxiety. After all, it was the first time he had negotiated conditions with his superiors, but if he didn't mention this condition, even if they followed Dongfang Sheng in the end, they would still feel a little pimple in their hearts. After all, ordinary soldiers What I want most is that my wife and children are warm on the kang, and it is best to be able to live together as a family.

After swallowing the fish in his mouth, Dongfang Sheng said: "No problem, I will arrange a clerk to register your family information after you arrive in Xuzhou, and I will arrange someone to take your family members over in batches."

"Great!" Yu Hong said excitedly.

Dongfang Sheng said with a smile: "I also have requirements for you. If you can't do it, I can give you money to go back to Jizhou and let you go back by yourself."

"We will definitely do it." Yu Hong said firmly.

Dongfang Sheng glanced at the distance and murmured: "The place of the Four Wars, I don't know if I can keep it?"

On the left of Xuzhou are Yanzhou and Yuzhou, above is Qingzhou, and below is Yangzhou.

It was originally a very rich place, but when the heroes came together, it became a place where everyone competed with each other. Frequent wars caused Xuzhou to be sparsely populated and the state's economy had almost collapsed.

If the whole of Xuzhou hadn't been too severely damaged by the war, Liu Bei would not have retreated so quickly.

Dongfang Sheng is also a little worried about occupying Xuzhou now. Basically, Xuzhou is now in the parcel of Cao Cao's territory, which is basically a place where disputes are bound to arise.

Cao Cao wouldn't just sit back and watch another person come by his side, and Dongfang Sheng didn't want Xuzhou to fall into Cao Cao's hands. After all, Dongfang Sheng also came here with the mentality of making a fortune in this battle of Guandu.

Under the setting sun, a group of strong young men in blue and linen clothes were running on the ground sweating profusely.

They were the captives of Yuan Jun who had surrendered to Dongfang Sheng, and they were now incorporated into the army with the designation Xuanwu Army.

Dongfang Sheng rode a red rabbit horse and slowed down to lead the way. From Guandu to Xuzhou, Dongfang Sheng planned to start training them on this section of the road.

Twenty kilometers of weight-bearing running every day, plus a variety of modern exercise methods such as: push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and other training.

Dongfang Sheng also taught them the free fighting technique, which is very practical after losing their weapons. At the same time, Dongfang Sheng also authorized Yu Hong to train the square formation, which was the formation used by Ju Yi to defeat Gongsun Zan and Baima Yicong. To be used in conjunction with Euphorbia, also known as Euphorbia array.
